Others never seem to reciprocate
Question
February 6, 2004
All my life I have always been first to recognize somebody else, to always thank others and encourage them. I always make everybody feel special.
I have also observed, however, that I don't get the same in return.
Is it because I make myself so available, am always considerate? Is it because I am being taken for granted?
Sincerely,
Bessik

Answer
Many people do not recognize others right away, thank or give encouragement. It could be shyness, being self-centered, lack of character, how they were brought up or some other reason. Needless to say, it can be very discouraging when you do something special and never get the same in return.
Once I had a conversation with a fellow I just met. For 45 minutes he told me all about himself and his life story, while I seemed very interested. The next day I saw him again and said "Hi." He said, "Do I know you?" Although that irritated me, I also realized that one of us had more character than the other.
You have to realize that YOU are the special person. If you are the one who performs positive acts and encourages others, then you are the leader and the champion. Some may appreciate what you do and not show it, and some may resent you for being so positive. But you are determining the type of person you are.
If you do run into someone who gives you encouragement, don't let that person go. Such people are rare and valuable.
